Nordic Championships 2014 – Bygland, Norway
Just a few weeks before the competition in Bygland I got the disturbing feeling that something was wrong.
And it was. The organizers failed to pay and send the cat2 application to the FAI in time. End even if all normal channels (justacro.com, Facebook and so on) had announced this as an cat2 event, FAI could not approve the delayed payment and applicationform.
The competition in Bygland, was the only competition in Norway this season, and the only easy way for norwegian pilots to get FAI ranking points, so this was a very bad situation.
